HADLEY Another distinguished son of Kearn has passed on. Few, if any, graduates of the University have attained the positions of service or had such opportunities in educational, professional and political fields. Ithill health prevented him from serving on Coolidge's cabinet; from accepting the presidency of the University of Missouri and perhaps, from considering the nomination for the vice-presidency. Considerable speculation is centering about the question of his candidacy for the presidency in 1912 when the Republican party under the leadership of Colonel Roosevelt split into the Progressive and the Old Guard factions. Perhaps fortune saved him from serving the fateful term held by Woodrow Wilson during the World war. In his undergraduate days at the University, he is remembered by his classmates as a scholar and a congenial companion. His life has been one of desire for more activity and it was this urge that called him to his recent post as chancellor of Washington University from a more restful private life. The unselflessness and thoroughness in his talks reflect high morir on himself and his nimm matter. WHOM SHALL WE AID? With the recent developments between the nations of Europe, one has proof that Europe is gradually getting back to the normal days of 1914. WHOM SHALL WE ADD? An opinion that the funds raised by the Christmas Candle sale be used this year for the relief of needy students on the campus instead of being sent abroad, was expressed by a few members of the committee on the Christmas tree program Thursday. It was suggested that the decreased subscription last year was due to the foreign use of the funds instead of keeping the money at home. The total fund last year was about five hundred dollars. The Kansas seriously doubts that this suggestion is the consensus of student opinion. Newly students on the campus usually present a charity drive of this nature. Concrete examples of this attitude occurred last year when two foreign students refused the aid and they had become sufficiently established at the University to be self-supporting. And how much good will five hundred dollars do the many students on the Hill who would desire such aid? Several years ago when the Christmas Candle iden was new, considerable interest was allowed in the drives for funds to send to foreign students. Many instances of the genuine appreciation of this small work of international good will have been expressed in convocation messages and letters to the former committees. Over there a little goes a long way—perhaps not so much in actual volume, but in the strengthening of international bonds of friendship. It is likely that the smallness of the sum raised last year was caused, not by the fact that some of the money was sent abroad, but by the divided opinion among the students concerning the use of the money and by the lack of a concentrated appeal to the broad vision and the imagination that are always a part of the Christmas spirit. These factors in all likelihood had greater effect than dissatisfaction with the past use of the funds. Would not the strengthening of good will between the youth of martyrs be a more justifiable use of this skill than the use of it as a common loan at home? THE SHIBBOLETH OF A CEN- TURY One hundred and four years ago today, there was formally announced to the world for the first time that political proposition which has since become the religion of America—the Monroe doctrine. Epacah this doctrine has been from the beginning, and it has proved itself a campaign issue for the politicians of a century. There is perhaps no man or woman in America today who not at least a haphazard acquaintance with its political points. Few, perhaps, however, have a clear understanding of the present interpretation of the doctrine. Most of us seem to remember that there is something in this proclamation about entangling alliances with Europe. When however, after participation in the World War we still see the non-entanglement doctrine worked as before, we may begin to wonder what after all the Monroe doctrine is about. In its original version it embodied two major points: Non-intervention by Europe in the affairs of the Americans, and the non-intervention of America in Europe. President Polk's administration saw the first perseverance. In his inaugural address Polk wrote that the question of annexation is a problem belonging to the United States alone. In 1848 he urged the annexation of Yucatan. Here was the first step away from Montana's interpretation. Non-intervention by Europe was still insisted upon, but the United States saw itself privileged to interfere as it saw fit without its being of any concern to the lands across the water. President Cleveland was responsible for the next extension. In his Venezuela address in 1855 he characterized the United States as practically the sovereign over all America. In these words he gave rise to the contention that this country was the logical protector of the states of South and Central America, an extension undermined if before. President Roosevelt a few years later was instrumental in establishing the Morrice doctrine as it stands today. After commanding the German fleet, which was then blockading Veresunian ports in an attempt to collect debts due them, to leave at once, he announced in his fourth annual address in 1904 an added corollary: The United States is within its right when it prevents intervention in the Americas by European countries, but in doing so it becomes responsible to Europe for the payment of the debts due them.

Miss Hatten ATHEMATICS CLUB: 1 the continent of Europe did not come until the World War. It takes little examination to convince one that there has been a radical distortion of Monroe's 1823 procl lamination. Non-interference by the United States was then as plainly stipulated as it was for Europe. But we have chosen not to follow the precedent. The Monroe doctrine of 1927 reads: Europe has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Americas, but the United States may intervene as it sees fit. For this privileges we guarantee to Europe her investments in the American states. But many Americans fail to see Europe's responsibility in this light. They would, inconsistently enough, hold her bound while enjoying the privileges of freedom herself. Those last years of your life can be the most comfortable — free from care and worries. Or they can be a very regular period of your life. The question is not one of whether this country should have abided by the degree advanced a century ago. Non-intervention in the face of recent developments has seemed impossible. We should, however, be frank to admit that we have broken our part of the original contract. And once one party fails to abide by set stipulations, the other party is thereby also relieved of further compliance. Such is good practice in the courts.

THE COLLEGE ATTITUDE THE COLLEGE STATEMENT The University is a place for serious contemplation of questions of consequence, so the traditions of higher education teach us. Students seeking to understand those things must learn to be a good fellow are not the pattern thinkers of days gone by, but rather, they are the investigators in the field of human thought and conduct. Perhaps this ideal attitude is now existent. Undoubtedly there are some of the more scholarly who retain this spirit of inquiry, but there is an increasingly large group of those who do not know, neither do they wish to know. They have lost the desire for knowledge. Propound some question of consequence. Co-Ed BEAUTY SHOP 14th & Kentucky Opportunity quence to a college group and listen to the answers: "Well, what of it?"
